April 2008  In September 2007, The ACT Foundation pledged £20,000.00 to Disability Challengers towards their adventure playground at Farnham.  We are very please to hear that the project is very near completion and that the facility will be fully operational for the first time on 7th April 2008.  

March 2008  The ACT Foundation were able to grant a donation of £1,545.00 to a young lady from Ayrshire who suffers from Cerebral Palsy.  She will shortly be moving back into the community with the aid of a support package but needed a specialist shower chair to enable her to be as independent as possible.   

March 2008  We were approached by the parents of a 16 year old boy from Staffordshire who has Cerebral Palsy and is unable to walk.  As their son is now growing up he is becoming difficult to lift him from his wheelchair and into the car.  A Turny specialist swivel seat with armrests would enable them to transfer him easily and allow him to travel in comfort and safety.  We were happy to be able to help with a grant of £2,400.00      

March 2008   Mapledown is a special needs secondary school based in Cricklewood, London and is for pupils ages 11 - 19 with severe and complex learning difficulties.  It currently has 60 pupils on role.  The school approached The ACT Foundation for a grant to help improve their outdoor play area which would provide their students with a stimulating environment.  The school run an after school club which would ensure that the equipment was being used throughout the year. The ACT Foundation have agreed to help with a pledge of £5,000.00
